Not Your Typical Parmesan Chicken

-
 Growing up, I was required to contribute to the family by cooking a few times a week. No excuses, meat, veggie, side, bread, set the table, and pour drinks. As you can imagine, I usually threw in a free dessert as well. It all started with the oldest sister of five teaching the younger one. One of my favorite meals to make was Parmesan Chicken. However, I remember the first time I made it I didn't realize that you could actually buy breadcrumbs... yeah... I toasted almost a whole loaf of bread, got out that knife, and scraaaaped away! More like burt toast chicken haha. Needless to say, I'm so grateful for cheap, Kroger brand italian breadcrumbs!!!

Start your angel hair pasta (buy the healthy kind if you can) and either make your favorite red sauce as you see here or pop your favorite tom sauce open.
 EVOO and Garlic...can't go wrong!
 Here's where the fun begins. Make sure your chicken is thawed btw. Use a cup of bread crumbs, 1/2 cup parmesan chz, freshly ground black pepper, red pepper, salt, and a secret ingredient.
(this is the atypical part) instead of bathing your chicken in an egg wash, dip it in lemon juice. YUM
 You got it, next up is that wonderful breading. btw i used chicken slivers, very thin and easy to eat
 medium heat, four minutes on each side (ish)
 oooh it was so yummy. Blake even said it was his favorite chicken that i've made so far. that's a big complement :) dare ya to make it!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephesians 2:10)   H

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us!
